Microfiber-Lithium Niobate on Insulator Hybrid Waveguides for Efficient and Reconfigurable Second-Order Optical Nonlinearity on a Chip
Andriy Gorbach, Wei Ding
Sep 09, 2015
We present an optical microfiber-lithium niobate on insulator (MF-LNOI) hybrid waveguide for efficient second-order nonlinear processes. The structure combines the advantages of low-loss fiber and high-nonlinearity waveguide...
Cracking the enigma of mitochondrial-DNA variants and cancer.
Wei Wei, Patrick F Chinnery
Feb 12, 2020
A recent study by Yuan et al., [Ref. 11] published in Nature Genetics, demonstrated multidimensional molecular alterations of mitochondrial DNA in human cancers and provide an on-line catalogue of mitochondrial genomes in many...
Prenatal and birth predictors of objectively measured physical activity and sedentary time in three population-based birth cohorts in Brazil.
Physical inactivity is a global pandemic with no signs of improvement. Prolonged sitting time is an emerging risk factor that exacerbates the health consequences of physical inactivity. Both behaviours are influenced by various...

Optimisation for interconnected energy hub system with combined ground source heat pump and borehole thermal storage
Da Huo, Wei Wei, Simon Le Blond
Dec 01, 2018
Ground source heat pumps (GSHP) give zero-carbon emission heating at a residential level. However, as the heat is discharged, the temperature of the ground drops, leading to a poorer efficiency. Borehole inter-seasonal thermal...

Cell reprogramming shapes the mitochondrial DNA landscape.
Individual induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) show considerable phenotypic heterogeneity, but the reasons for this are not fully understood. Comprehensively analysing the mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) in 146 iPSC and...

Biparental inheritance of mitochondrial DNA revisited.
Evidence for a biparental mode of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) inheritance has been sparse and remains controversial. Recent studies using a range of complementary techniques do not support paternal transmission of mtDNA, and...

Optimizing for High Resolution ADC Model With Combined Architecture
High resolution analog-digital conversion (ADC) is a key instrument to convert analog signals to digital signals, which is deployed in data acquisition system to match high resolution analog signals from seismometers systems. To...
Optimal Borehole Energy Storage Charging Strategy in a Low Carbon Space Heat System

Domestic heating is the major demand of energy systems, which can bring significant uncertainties to system operation and shrink the security margin. From this aspect, the borehole system, as an interseasonal heating storage...

Hybrid microfiber-lithium-niobate nanowaveguide structures as high-purity heralded single-photon sources

We propose a compact, fiber-integrated architecture for photon-pair generation by parametric downconversion with unprecedented flexibility in the properties of the photons produced. Our approach is based on a thin-film...

Optimal operation of interconnected energy hubs by using decomposed hybrid particle swarm and interior-point approach

The Energy Hub has become an important concept for formally optimizing multi-carrier energy infrastructure to increase system flexibility and efficiency. The existence of energy storage within energy hubs enables the dynamic...

Background sequence characteristics influence the occurrence and severity of disease-causing mtDNA mutations.
Inherited mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations have emerged as a common cause of human disease, with mutations occurring multiple times in the world population. The clinical presentation of three pathogenic mtDNA mutations is...
Chance-Constrained Optimization for MultiEnergy Hub Systems in a Smart City

The energy hub is a powerful conceptualization of how to acquire, convert, and distribute energy resources in the smart city. However, uncertainties such as intermittent renewable energy injection present challenges to energy...
